VDOT has updated its list of highway work that is scheduled, weather permitting, in the Culpeper District during the next week. Traffic movements may be restricted and speed limits reduced in work zones.
To ease travel for the Fourth of July holiday, VDOT will suspend many highway work zones and lift most lane closures on interstates and other major roads in Virginia from noon on Monday, July 3 until noon on Wednesday, July 5.
Road conditions and other real-time travel information can be found on the 511 Virginia website,
